I saw four performances of yours at the Vivid Live Festival and was totally blown away by your expressive, powerful and masterful command of your chosen instruments. I've never heard anything like you before and am completely hooked. Words fail me when I try to describe it. I was moved to tears by lunch time performance, it was absolutely incredible. Thank you to Laurie Anderson and Lou Reed for introducing us all to you. I will follow your musical career with much anticipation and will always come to see you when you play in Australia. Watching you play the bass sax was mesmerizing, they way you danced and the circular breathing! Oh man, what an amazing performer! I was wondering if you could mention on your site the man who inspired you, I would love to track down some of his work as well. Thanks for signing my disc at the Music For Dogs Show too. I don't think I've ever met a more humble, handsome or creative artist such as yourself.

Same as Andrew, I went to Slow Music Night and you totally recruited a new fan. The whole show rocked but you, sir, are a legend. Great soul food! Keep up the amazing 'work'

Just wanted to say that your gig at the Sydney opera house (Australia) was incredible! You rock! Where can I get hold of that new piece you did with Shara Worden!?

Colin Stetson at Moers-Festival (Germany) again!
First time on stage with Matana Roberts and Shahzad Ismaily: heavy rhythms and contrapuntal melodies. Great show, Colin!

Loved your performance last night at music now. You have spawned a beautiful language. I am glad I came to the show, even though I had no ticket and it was sold out. I have been playing flutes for 35 years and would love to hear your approach to this instrument. Any listening for you to recommend?

Hi, heard your Moers 2009 performance in the radio yesterday. That was really impressive and after a long time I had the the feeling, that I found some new music for me, which is really a step ahead. In general and as well for me personal.

Thank you for that!

I just ordered your CD "New History Warefare" today and hope it will arrive in Germany without problems

Hi Colin,
heard you yesterday for the first time, live on stage at Moers festival, Germany. Whowwww! Absolutely fantastic show and music! Your kinda playing sax sounds to me as revolutionary as JHendrix for electric guitar. If you play in Central Europe again we are going to be there, too! Thanks a lot!

Colin - Hi....it's your cousin who you haven't seen in probably 25 years from CT. I somehow came across your website today and I'm blown away with everything you've achieved. I'm proud of you and your accomplishments. Music is a big part of my life (electric and classical guitar), and I know the amount of time and energy that goes into it. I hope you achieve everything your shooting for. Later

Congratulations on your new CD! I will try to come out for your NY show. Just did a run out to Colorado with Stuart, and we went snow tubing! We raced, and I won! Yay for Me!!!

Steven Lentini

March 4, 2008

Hey Brother, I saw you at Stuart's Opera House for the Barack thing and I was blown away. It was like a slap bass with a saxophone and the difficulty of circular breathing and the amount of air to get sound out of the bass is unbelivable and I cannot believe you are soo talented. Thanks a lot for creating great music and sharing it!!!

I come sometimes in NYC. I saw you playing sax twice and each time that was a great moment for me.
You got a wonderful and powerful sound on sax and a very dynamic motricity.
I hope hearing you again asap. Maybe in Europe?

I was the big Irishman that shook your hand after the Madison Square Park set. Dude: What you were doing to B.B. King's "The Thrill Is Gone" during the %#@&^sound check made me stick around. You were all slamming, as it were, but I wanted you to check out Frank Zappa's "Purple Lagoon" from the doulbe "Live In New York," Featuring Michael Brecker. There's more where that came from, and now I believe you are one of them!
All the best! - John
